Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP
Well for sure there is little to no body roll with these springs. Once I get some new struts to replace the nasty blown ones I have, I think it will stiffen up way more. These W-body cars make me fell like I'm driving a pancake hahaha. Also if I can save up and get a strut tower brace that will improve the responsiveness even more. I just got done driving from central Texas to Fort Polk, LA. The drive was 6 hours and the car handled and performed better than I thought it would. I really need to do my LIM cause after crossing over into Louisianna I got smoked by a newer chevy truck. My car does not produce full boost and after replacing some little things and finding all the bad vacuum lines I have determined my LIM has to be bad. On the other hand the car ran real cool with the outside temp at 59*
Outside temp 59* and cruise control set at 75mph

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP
You are correct sir, but in the end for what I have planned (3.4 setup), it was worth the wait. I'm really close to being done with the 3.4 setup all I need is the pulley and headers.

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP
Will not be able to go home and do things to my GTP for a while. So I was thinking I would share with yall some of my pics from OIF 3 my first deployment 05-06.
Not my tank, but we did shoot this day. The company was "screening" our tanks. Range was in Kuwait.
This is my old PLT SGT. Baghdad, Iraq while on Patrol.
Here I am with some Iraqi Tankers. The T-54/55 in the background was a POS compared to our M1A1 Abrams. FOB Falcon, Baghdad, Iraq
Me and a DOC were pulling outer cordon on a house being searched and these kids wanted their pic taken, at first they did the arms crossed pose til I showed the blonde hair kid how to do the "SHOCKER" . Baghdad, Iraq

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP
It's been two weeks since I put on the lowering springs and the car has settled a little bit more. It feels lower LOL. It still drives nice and handles corners way better than before. Now just gotta save up for some better rim and tire combo.
DIRTY car is DIRTY

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP
I keep meaning to text but then when I think about it it's late and I know army hours roll early bro. Glad those springs are working out. Wish I would have bought some... The price looks like it has gone up a bit. I have not really had the time or money though so, maybe after this weekend I will be back on my game. I gotta sell two of these cars though my house looks like a damn used car lot now lol

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP
Good evening all, I am doing the LIM and come to find out they might be the original LIM gaskets. I hope after doing this that I go from 3.3lbs of boost to almost 7. The tear down was not that bad, now comes the cleaning and painting the SC gold.
Parts
nice and filthy
SC off
SC off
LIM off
Old Plastic Gaskets

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP
Yeah I know, that has me worried that I will not take care of the reason I was not producing full boost. I have replaced ALL the bad vacuum lines, new sensors, BBV and BBV solenoid. In the end though at least my engine will be cleaned up and the SC painted gold:th_blingbling:
